Amphiphilic incompletely condensed polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes possessing various substituents and poly(ethylene glycol)s of different chain lengths have been developed. It has been elucidated that their self-association behaviors in water are dependent on the substituents and chain lengths of poly(ethylene glycol)s. Precise molecular design, excellent thermal stability, and good dispersibility have been realized at once.
